« on: February 23, 2012, 08:32:59 PM »
go pro video of my way to work this morning, winds SW 10 to 15 knots, thick fog, little choppy, ran wide open in the beginning through the neighborhood, then about 25-26 mph rest of the way burning 12.2 GPH

i cant wait to get my new prop tomorrow to see what the difference in fuel consumption will be... too bad the weather will be crap next few days...

normally it takes me 16 minutes dock to dock on a flat day running 40+, it took me about 25 minutes this morning couldnt go above 25 this morning without beating the boat up. even with the not so perfect weather, its still a relaxing way to start the day

Aaron,

Even though you post a Florida lifestyle video in the middle of the winter...even though...we still feel affection for you up here.

Don't do it again.

Love the protected waters where Aaron lives, and his way out into the bay, then the waters change...somewhat.  The bay gets "sporty" at times, I've been out in 2 to 4s just outside of the breakwater by the Pier, tough to make headway, and those are totally confused 2 to 4s...not fun.  Couple miles N of Aaron's marina...

A 29 footer works well, with a 22.5 degree deadrise... :thumleft:

Who needs coffee when you have that?  That was a little choppy, but that's Tampa bay for ya.  I am jealous.  I used to live on the water in Bradenton.  Now I am land locked in Lakeland  :(

14-1/2 x 19 4-blade omc renegade. Same blade design as my current  prop but bigger diameter less pitch. Going for better hole shot.
